[Candrama] Tenure-track Aborginal Scholar positions - U of Saskatchewan

Tue Oct 10 10:30:03 EDT 2017

The Department of Drama at the University of Saskatchewan wishes to draw your attention to the following advertisement and to our strong desire to recruit Aboriginal candidates with an interest in Theatre, Performance and Drama. We encourage eligible candidates with interests in this area to contact the Department Head, moira.day at usask.ca<mailto:moira.day at usask.ca> ,to discuss submitting an application.

The College of Arts and Science invites applications from outstanding emerging or established Aboriginal scholars for fulltime, tenure-track positions at any rank in any scholarly discipline represented in the College of Arts and Science (http://artsandscience.usask.ca/).
Located on the banks of the kisiskāciwani-sīpiy (also known as the South Saskatchewan River), the University of Saskatchewan is part of a millennia-long tradition of people gathering on these banks to teach, to learn, and to build community. The College of Arts and Science has committed to increase the proportion of Aboriginal faculty members to at least 15% over the next 10 years, thus reflecting the current demographics of Saskatchewan. We also commit to supporting these Aboriginal scholars in building community, collaboration, and career success within our College. This is part of our College’s transformative journey of Indigenization and reconciliation. We invite interested Aboriginal scholars to be part of that journey. This year, we will fill at least two positions with Aboriginal scholars.
Interviews of qualified candidates and recommendations for appointment will be the responsibility of individual departments within the College. Applicants, therefore, should indicate the department in which they seek appointment. Hiring decisions will be based on the applicants’ academic qualifications, record and strengths, along with their potential and willingness to support the strategic priorities of the relevant department and the department’s ability to support the candidate.
The University of Saskatchewan, situated in Treaty 6 territory and the Métis homeland, has committed to becoming an “outstanding institution of research, learning, knowledge-keeping, reconciliation, and inclusion with and by Indigenous peoples and communities.” It is located in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, a city with a diverse and thriving economic base, a vibrant arts community and a full range of leisure opportunities. The University has a reputation for excellence in teaching, research, scholarly and artistic work, and offers a full range of undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs to a student population of over 23,000. With over 25,000 Aboriginal residents, the city is also a centre of Aboriginal cultural, social, artistic, and intellectual activity. Saskatchewan is the province with second-highest proportion of Aboriginal people in Canada and offers many opportunities for scholars to engage with a diversity of Aboriginal communities.
The College of Arts and Science is the University’s largest college and home to more than 60 academic programs. We have had a department of Indigenous Studies since 1982 and have strong Aboriginal programs and high-achieving Aboriginal scholars in many of our departments. We are also home to more than 9,000 students, with over 1000 Aboriginal students.Qualifications
Applications will be accepted from those who self-identify as Aboriginal (First Nations, Metis, or Inuit) and have a terminal degree in their discipline (or are in the last year of a program leading to such a degree). We are seeking Aboriginal candidates who have demonstrated an ability or potential to engage in research, scholarly or artistic work; to be effective classroom teachers and graduate student mentors; and can contribute to our mission of Indigenization and reconciliation directly through those activities or through role modeling, community engagement, and leadership.

I wanted to you to let you know about a playwriting contest opportunity available to students, aged 25 years and under in the Toronto area.

PGC has an annual awards program called the Tom Hendry Awards. This is composed of a number of monetary awards for playwrights, but there is one in particular that is designed specifically for students: "The RobertBeardsley Award" (deadline of May 16, 2017).

Here is a brief description to provide some context, (or click here<http://www.playwrightsguild.ca/tom-hendry-awards> ):
